“I want to share my victory with our CWGA members. And playing with my best friend, Yuko Togawa, helped me a lot because I was able to play with a stable and enjoyable mind,” said Son.
She said her best hole was hole No. 1.
“The first hole was good only in this tournament because it was a difficult hole for me, but I started with a par.”
As for playing conditions, she said the weather was wonderful because it was not too hot, even though they were expecting some rain.
